THE D AILY UNION. Thursday, Jan. 9, 2014
BY T IM WEIDEMAN
Junction City receivedabout $10.05 million in sales
tax revenue in 2013, whichis up slightly compared to
2012, Assistant City Man-ager Cheryl Beatty report-ed Tuesday.
In 2012, the city received
about $10.03 million in salestax revenue.
The totals from the lasttwo years include the por-tion the city receives from
Geary County.Sales tax is a significant
source of revenue for cities.Of Junction City’s $15 mil-lion general fund budget,
sales tax covers for $6 mil-lion.
Beatty said the city is
comfortable with the reve-
nue received in 2013.
“We’ve held it steady now
for two years,” she said.
But the city always is
seeking to identify addi-
tional ways to increase
sales tax revenue.
“We always have that
goal,” Beatty said. “We
always are trying to develop
new business and new sales
tax revenue.”
That goal is no different
in other cities, she said.
“One of the primary
focuses is to seek increased
revenues to support ongo-
ing increased costs and the
services that we offer,”
Beatty said. “The focus is
not just only on sales tax,
though. We are always are
looking for new revenue
sources.”
As a whole, Geary Coun-
ty received about $5.68 mil-
lion in sales tax revenue in
2013, about $40,000 more
than in 2012.
From that total, Junction
City received about $2.46
million, Grandview Plaza
received about $144,300 and
Milford received about
$44,600.
Sales tax revenues increase slightly in 2013

Three new faces on theKansas House Federal andState Affairs Committeehave thrown a curveball
at Rep. Allan Rothlisbergand his plans to change astate law to allow acasino to be builtin Geary County.
On Tuesday,R o t h l i s b e r g( R - G r a n d v i e wPlaza) told theJunction City-Geary CountyEconomic Devel-opment Commis-sion he’s not surewhether the new commit-tee members will be onboard.
“I don’t know any ofthem,” he said. “This is
going to be interesting.”Rothlisberg has said he
expects the bill he’s spon-soring to come before thecommittee early this year.
The bill would allow fora fifth Kansas casino to bebuilt in Geary County.Though the bill couldchange the state law, itdoesn’t guarantee a casinoin Geary County.
Rothlisberg has spent
his time between legisla-tive sessions gath-ering support fromlocal governmentsand business lead-ers.
So far, he’sfocused on commu-nities within a 25-to 30-mile radius ofGeary County.
“That willenhance whatwe’re trying to do
as a regional, destinationcasino,” Rothlisberg said.
Officials from JunctionCity, Geary County andGrandview Plaza haveexpressed some supportof the casino concept. OnTuesday, Rothlisberg said

The chief executive offi-cer of the hospital recent-ly discussed the new yearand what patrons couldexpect.
Upgrades for the Mar-tha K. Hoover Women’sCenter will include equip-ment and aesthetics.
The center offers laborand birthing services,gynecological surgery,
nurseries, screenings andclasses.“There may be some
further discussions withthe (Geary Community
Healthcare Foundation)and the hospital to pulltogether some funding so
we can complete the proj-ect,” Stratton said.The estimated cost is
between $85,000 and$100,000.
Proceeds from the foun-dation’s Holiday Glitz willhelp with the project.About $45,000 was raisedduring the Decemberevent.
Stratton said the hospi-tal will continue to focuson providing quality carefor patients and families.Some of the ways toaccomplish that is byimproving safety andquality of the building and

Spooooky!
MANHATTAN — Researchersand students at Kansas State Uni-
versity are thinking in three
dimensions.
University engineers and
designers are developing ideas
from concept to prototype using
some of the latest 3-D printers.
The layer by layer printing
process has helped professors
and students explore new possi-
bilities for creating prototypes,formula car parts, models, tools,
and — on a less conventional
note — eyeglasses, custom-made
clothes and intricately designed
puzzles.
In the College of Architecture,
Planning & Design, two profes-
sors — Dustin Headley, assistantprofessor of interior architecture
and product design, and Nathan
Howe, assistant professor of
architecture — are using 3-Dprinters to help students explore
the limits of gravity and to chal-lenge themselves as designers.
The college has two 3-D print-
ers: a uPrint that uses strings of
ABS plastic and a Form1 printer
that uses liquid resin and lasers.
Students in Howe’s architec-
ture classes have 3-D printed
model pieces for projects while
students in Headley’s product
design classes have printed tiles
and product prototypes.“The printers get students to
operate at a scale where they can
actually touch things,” Headley
said. “If they aren’t engaging in
that, then everything becomes
kind of pie in the sky. When theyare forced to make things more
reasonable, students discover
holes in the design that the com-
puter fails to highlight in its grav-ity free environment.”
The architects also say that
using 3-D printers helps students
learn important job-related skillsand makes them more market-
able.
“In architecture, we are design-
ing in an age where it is possible
to build more complex forms,”
Howe said. “However if you can
design it in a computer, it doesn’t
necessarily make it right.
“The best tools the students
have are their eyes. 3-D printers
allow the students to make com-plex forms physical, allowing
them to get a lot more informa-
tion out of their design process,”
he said. “The printer provides amechanism to strive for more
complexity that can still be ratio-
nalized.”
As the college obtains more3-D printers, it becomes quicker
and more cost-effective for stu-
dents to use the technology.
Headley and Howe already plan
to integrate the printers in spring
semester classes.
Headley plans to have studentsuse the Xbox Kinect to create
body scans and design and print
their own custom-fit apparel or
action figures of themselves.
He also plans to have students
in product design courses print
children’s toys. The architects
also have used 3-D printers for
their own research projects.
Howe printed a model chair to
better understand the manufac-
turing process and create a moldfor the chair.
Headley used a 3-D body scan
to create an elaborate custom-
fit armband.Both researchers earned
awards for their work.
In the College of Engineering,
a large 3-D printer uses multicol-
ored ABS plastic to create parts,
tools and prototypes for research
and student projects.
Another 3-D printer in the
Electronics Design Laboratoryalso is used for research projects
and prototypes.
In mechatronics classes, engi-
neering students design robots
and 3-D print the pieces.
Several laboratories and the
college’s competitive design
teams — such as the SAE formu-
la car and the SAE aero team —
use the large printer.Several laboratories, including
the materials testing laboratory,
also use the printer.
Architects, designers and engineers use 3-D printers to make research come to life

Kite’s Grille and Bar inJunction City likely willhave to shut its doors soon,but the closure won’t be per-manent.
Thanks to a badly deteri-orated area of flooring inthe restaurant’s kitchen,owner Rusty Wilson onTuesday told the JunctionCity-Geary County Eco-nomic Development Com-mission he’ll need to makerepairs and give the restau-rant “the shot in the arm itneeds to get it back to whereit was.”
Wilson applied for a$35,000 loan from the city’srevolving loan fund to helppay for the project.
The Economic Develop-ment Commission (EDC)voted unanimously to rec-ommend the loan beapproved. The JunctionCity Commission will votewhether to approve the loanat a later date.
Several EDC membersvoiced their support of Wil-son during Tuesday’s meet-ing.
“They’ve demonstratedby virtue of their successhow they’ve been a serviceto the community,” EDCboard member and GearyCounty CommissionerLarry Hicks said.
Wilson also is seeking a
loan from MillenniumBank.
If the funding comesthrough, Wilson said theplan is to temporarily closethe restaurant for aboutnine days, fix the kitchenfloor, clean the interior, hiresome new managers andtweak the menu.
“We’re going to try andget creative — some differ-
ent type of entertainment,some different specials,” hesaid.
A year-long disagreementbetween Wilson and build-ing owners, HomesteadAffordable Housing, forcedthe problem to be dealtwith.
Wilson said he doesn’tbelieve it’s his responsibili-ty to fix the floor because itwasn’t installed with a prop-er moisture-absorbinglayer.
However, the building’sowners don’t think theresponsibility is theirs,
either.Now, the damaged floor
has taken a tole on the busi-ness, especially employeemorale, Wilson said. Addthe opening of WarriorZone, a sports bar on FortRiley, and Kite’s has seenfoot traffic decrease.
“NFL Sundays are hugefor us,” he said. “They’re athird of what they were.”
The hope is the improve-ments could help bring the
restaurant back to the suc-cess it was used to seeing.
“At one point it wasgreat,” Wilson said. “I loveit. I love Junction City. It’svery different from Manhat-tan.”
Wilson also owns Kite’sGrille and Bar and Rusty’s,both located in Manhattan’sAggieville district.
The difference betweenhis restaurants’ locations ispart of the problem Wilsonsaid he’s encountered.
The Junction City restau-rant hasn’t seen the late-night traffic Wilson relies
on in Manhattan. He saidresidents of Bartell Place, asenior housing communitylocated above Kite’s, havecomplained before becauseof noise levels.
Wilson suggested the res-taurant will seek the barcrowd as part of its futureplans.
“My point is, don’t buy ahouse close to the traintracks if you don’t want tohear the train,” he said.
Wilson plans to give Kite’s ‘shot in the arm’

“This is going to be avery interesting schoolyear,” SuperintendentRonald Walker said dur-ing his first press confer-ence of 2014.
Some of the intriguingtopics on the horizon forthe Geary County SchoolDistrict include construc-tion at Fort Riley, financ-es and a statewide law-suit.
Like others around thestate, Unified School Dis-trict 475 is waiting for adecision from the stateSupreme Court regardingeducation funding.
A decision is expectedin the upcoming weeks.The case is a conflictbetween the Schools ForFair Funding (SFFF), Inc.and the state of Kansas.
SFFF, a nonprofit orga-nization, is composed ofseveral districts.
It’s currently sponsor-ing the Gannon v. State ofKansas school financelawsuit.
The case was filedagainst the state andalleges that the state vio-lated the Kansas Consti-tution by not adequatelyfunding public education.
The district is not surehow much Geary Countycould receive, but the law-suit is for more than $400million. Walker said dis-tricts were told not tobudget based on a quicksettlement.
“I’ve been told not toexpect the full amountnext year,” Walker said.“It’ll probably take sometime to work through the
current budget situationto resolve some issues.”
The district will awaitfor the budget analysis tosee what funds are com-ing to USD 475.
Walker said it’s widelyknown that the districthas lived off multi-milliondollar grants during dif-ficult financial times.
“We’re able to survive
off those, but a lot ofthose are coming to anend now,” Walker said.“So any financial injec-tion would be very wel-comed by our school dis-trict.”
If SFFF does not winthe case, it’ll put the dis-trict in a difficult posi-tion, which may includecutting non-certified staffpositions and adjustingclass sizes.
“We’ve had alreadymade adjustments withcertified staff to the point
where I don’t think wecan do it anymore,” Walk-er said.
Infrastructure andbuilding improvementsmay also be effected.
“While we’ve done a lotof renovation in the dis-trict, there’s still a lotwhich needs to be done atthe high school level,”Walker said. “The infra-structure there is agingfast.”
Constructionon post
Due to recent inclem-ent weather, construc-
tion of the new Fort RileyMiddle School is about aweek behind schedule.
“Most of the facilitywas covered and heatedso they can work on theinside, so a lot of thatwork is still taking place,”Walker said. “The out-side work is at a virtualstandstill right now.”
In 2012, the districtreceived $35.2 millionfrom the U.S. Departmentof Defense to addressovercrowding at the cur-rent school on post.
“My hope is to havethat facility delivered to
us in July,” Walker said.The district also plans
to break ground in thespring for a new FortRiley Elementary Schoolafter receiving $16 mil-lion from the Departmentof Defense.
The 500-student schoolwill help reduce over-crowding an will replacethe current school at 104
Morris Ave.
Common Core, KCCRWalker said the district is
working on the assessmentpiece of the Kansas Collegeand Career Ready Stan-dards (KCCR).
KCCR was developed toestablish a single set ofeducational standards forkindergarten through 12thgrade in English, languagearts, math and science.
In December, the statedecided not to go with theCommon Core-associatedSmarter Balance tests,which was developed withthe federal Race to the TopGrant.
State officials made adecision to let the Univer-sity of Kansas develop theevaluation.
The reason behind thedecision was to save moneyand have more control overthe test.
Walker believes that
decision will put Kansasbehind the rest of thenation, since it will notbegin until the 2015-16school year.
“While I have all the con-fidence in the world thatKU will develop a reallystrong assessment, it stillputs Kansas two yearsbehind other states andthat’s a concern for me,”Walker said.
He also said it was bit-tersweet.
“It’s difficult in the factthat teachers have to adjust
to instruction, but it’s alsogood in the fact that it givesus more time to understandthe KCCRs well and perfectour instruction as much aswe can,” Walker said.

Thisinitiative works to improve the health ofmothers and their babies by improvingaccess for pregnant women to healthcareproviders, by promoting breastfeeding bymothers, and by promoting great healthpractices for infants. Some of the programsbrought to Geary County through thisinitiative are “Becoming a Mom” classes toaide new mothers during their pregnancyand “Safe Sleep” trainings to make surethat our infants sleep in a safe environment.
Other programs adopted at GCH includethe High 5 for Mom & Baby program - aprogram that encourages adoption ofevidence-based practices that support the
start of breastfeeding and breastfeedingduration – and the 39 Week initiative, apolicy that puts a “hard stop” to electivelyinduced labor prior to 39 weeks (andgiving babies more time to develop).

Headlines from around the world Jury vindicates
London police overriots killing
LONDON — An inquest
jur y Wedne sday lar gelyvindicated London policeover the fatal shootingthat set off a wave of riot-ing across England morethan two years ago, find-ing that officers acted law-fully when they shot29-year-old gang memberMark Duggan.
The jury found that themixed-race father of twodid not have a gun in hishand when he was shot,but said it was likely he’dthrown the weapon awayin the seconds before hewas confronted by police.
Officers truly believed
he was armed, theyfound.
The jurors’ decisiondrew outrage from Dug-gan’s family, who spoke toreporters outside thecourthouse and insisted just ice had not been done.
One family membershouted an obscenity at juro rs as the y lef t thecourt. Supporters chanted“no justice, no peace” andnearly drowned out apolice press statement.
“The family are in astate of shock ... Theycan’t believe that this hasbeen the outcome,” family
lawyer Marcia Willis Stew-art said. “No gun in hishand and yet he was killed — murder ed as they havesaid — no gun in hishand.”
The unrest that followedthe Aug. 4, 2011, shootingspread across days, caus-ing hundreds of millionsin property damage andkilling five people — threeof whom were run over bya car while trying to pro-tect their shops.
Images of maskedyouths raiding depart-ment stores, of massivefires, and of police skir-
mishes shocked the coun-try a year ahead of theOlympic Games.
One academic saidWednesday’s decisioncould play an importantrole in shaping thenation’s understanding ofthe riots if it could getpeople talking about whypolice blundered, and whyDuggan’s death promptedsuch fury.
“It could be a veryimportant move if it couldstart a debate,” said Ste-phen Reicher, an experton crowd psychology atScotland’s University of
St. Andrews and theauthor of a book on theriots. “The answer has gotto be addressed: ‘Why is itthat an unarmed youngblack man had to beshot?”’
Duggan had a criminalrecord and police suspect-ed him of involvement ingun crime — somethingtreated especially serious-ly in Britain, where hand-
guns are outlawed andshootings are rare.
When intelligence sug-gested Duggan had pickedup a firearm from a gangassociate on Aug. 4, 2011,his taxi was interceptedby police in the grittynorth London neighbor-hood of Tottenham.
He ran out, and wasshot by police.
Whether Duggan had a
gun, and whether he washolding it, when he waskilled by police was one ofthe central questions inDuggan’s case.
A pistol was recovered afew meters (yards) from
the scene, and the officerwho shot Duggan said hewas sure the gun was inDuggan’s hand as heopened fire. Duggan’s sup-porters insist he wasunarmed.
Crucially, jurors itfound that officers at thescene genuinely believedDuggan was armed whenthey killed him.
Reicher said the judg-ment risked reinforcingthe sense in London’sblack community that the justi ce system was weight-ed against them.
Police and other offi-
cials have already beencriticized over theirresponse to the killing.
Police didn’t properlynotify Duggan’s family ofthe death and press brief-ings led journalists towrongly believe Duggan
had shot at officers before
being killed.In a statement made
almost inaudible by shoutsof “scum” and “liars,”
London’s Assistant Com-
missioner Mark Rowley
acknowledged outside thecourthouse that trust inthe police “is not shared
by everyone” and pledged
to rebuild relations.After allegations of cov-
er-up and foot-dragging,the inquest was finally
opened on Sept. 16, hear-
ing testimony from rough-ly 100 people, including
witnesses, pathologistsand police officers.
Inquests are held in
Britain to investigate vio-lent or unexplained
deaths, and even thoughthey don’t rule on guilt or
innocence, they often playan important role in estab-lishing the facts surround-
ing controversial cases.Authorities said polic-
ing in the capital was pro-
ceeding as usual followingthe decision.
Haiti police: killerstargeted moto-taxi
driversTHOMAZEAU, Haiti —
Haitian and U.N. authori-ties are searching a remote
area for the remains of
moto-taxi drivers who were
apparently targeted by a
robbery gang.
A local police commis-
sioner says the bodies of
nine drivers have been
found so far and the search
is continuing for additional
victims. Commissioner
Pierre Lesley Charles says
three suspects are in custo-
dy. The suspects are
believed to have lured driv-
ers to the rugged area and
killed them with machetes
or by strangulation. A20-year-old suspect led
police and an investigative
magistrate to the site on
Wednesday to search to
help locate and identify
remains. U.N. police were
also assisting the search.

Our viewTime for economicoptimism in JC area
The Junction City Area Chamber of Com-merce is kicking off its third year as aconsolidated organization formed from
several disparate groups, including the oldchamber, Economic Development Commission,Geary County Convention and Visitors Bureauand the Military Affairs Council.
CEO Tim Weigand Tuesday outlined his visionof the chamber’s goals beginning this year.Those goals include:
• Pursuing a private capital funding cam-paign.
• Supporting legislation permitting a casino inGeary County.
• Recruiting companies in the bioscience andanimal health industries, in advance of comple-tion of the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facil-ity in Manhattan.
• Establishing where property is available fordevelopment in the county when industry isinterested in locating here.
As Weigand pointed out, our neighboringcounties have completed similar capital cam-paigns to have funding available in order toattract potential businesses through possibleincentives.
Longer-term goals include attempting toattract a mega-grocery store on the west side oftown, an eight-screen cinema, a sports complex
and an outdoors specialty store. Success willrequire a lot of hard work, and yes, money.
Junction City and Geary County as always arecompeting with other cities to attract retail busi-nesses, many of which are offering incentives.
The chamber is moving in the right direction,in our view. These efforts take time and perse-verance. Private fundraising efforts are going tobe critical to the cause, and we urge the businesscommunity to support those efforts.
The good news is that Junction City sales taxrevenues rose every-so-slightly last year, upabout a tenth of a percent from the previousyear.
Sales tax revenue is an indication of retailgrowth, and certainly a positive number beats adrop in revenue.
But for the city to show real retail growth, 2014
sales tax revenue numbers need to show a moresubstantial increase.
With the opening of CVS Pharmacy and othernew businesses this year, there is renewed hopethat the retail economy is on the rise.
That should bring in more sales tax money,which means more revenue to the city, whichmeans more money for the services it provides.
It also means more jobs are available locally aswell. We are optimistic that the future is brighteconomically in 2014.

Continued agriculture success
depends on changeBY JOHN SCHLAGECK
Kansas Farm Bureau
With the advent of the New Year,Kansas farmers and ranchersmust once again look to the
future with an open mind and the flex-ibility to develop new ways of market-ing their products.
Customers and consumers are driv-en by changes in personal preferencesand increased income levels. “Giveconsumers what they want” will neverring truer than it will in 2014.
Today’s consumers have money andthey want to spend it on what theywant. Convenience also is very impor-tant, and while price is less important,it will still be a major piece of the buy-ing equation.
Our future agricultural economywill continue to be driven by consumerdemand. Consumers become wiser, andsavvier every day. Tomorrow’s well-informed shopper will want, anddemand, more information about howand where their food is produced. Itwill be up to the producer to help pro-vide such information.
Consumers must never be viewed asadversaries. They are the folks who
buy agricultural products and keepfarmers in the business of producingfood, fiber and fuel.
We can never discount consumers’intelligence. Rather, we must seek
input from them, and, once we under-stand what their needs are, provide forthem.
Along with giving customers whatthey want, agricultural producers willonce again be called upon to becomebetter risk managers, especially asthey continue moving into a market-oriented world arena.
The successful farmer in 2014 and
beyond will be the one who managesyield and price risks by knowing exact-ly what break-even costs of each cropwill be. They will incorporate specificgoals that ensure profits and includeprudent risk-management strategies.
Flexibility will also key future suc-cess on the farm and in the marketplace. One day soon farmers will nolonger be able to rely on governmentdisaster relief. Farmers must examinesound, new marketing techniques andthe latest crop insurance options com-ing down the pike.
One attribute many farmers share iscommon sense. Don’t forget to use thisvital tool during the upcoming year.
Remember, that past performance
never guarantees future success. Avoid
greed when marketing. Never wait to
sell at the top of the market because
you rarely will.
If something sounds too good to be
true — it generally is. Always, and this
means all the time, explain risk strate-
gies you are considering to your spouse
or partner. If they cannot reiterate
what you have said and have it make
sense, then you may want to reconsid-
er.
While relying on common sense is
helpful, it will not always make you a
successful farmer. Being thought of as
a good farmer will not always ensure
profitability either.
But, becoming a keener business
specialist is a prerequisite to continu-
ing in the profession of farming in the
New Year while providing customers
what they want.

OPINION
Letter to the Editor
Correcting the problemTo the Editor:
Milford Lake has been here since the late 60s.Over the years we have had numerousdrownings.
With the largest lake in Kansas within less that 5miles from Junction City, I find it ironic that thosein charge of this county have done nothing toattain equipment and train responders to use forthis purpose.
This last drowning in the freezing icy waters in acove might have been prevented if we would havehad this equipment before this happened. So, thoseresponders watched a man die from the shore.
I have to wonder why we have a SWAT mobilethat they use in the parade every year to show howwe are equipped to handle terrorist attacks inJunction City.
How many thousands of dollars were spent onthat. How many times has it been used to justifythat expense? There are also plenty of new highdollar trucks at the Sheriff’s department now.There was money for that also.
The county commissioners have now found it inthe budget to get a “banana boat” at the cost of$4,000, and another $6,000 will be used for trainingthose to use this equipment. This is the best use oftax dollars that has been spent in years.
As usual it seems like to little is done to late.I feel sorry for the family of that soldier that had
to wait days for the body to be recovered.I hope those on City and County Commissions
can look at ways to protect those in Geary Countyso that something like this does not happen again.

Best Republican new idea yetBY GEORGE N IXON SHULER
Special to The Daily Union
Wonder of wonders, a Republi-can running for the U.S. Sen-ate from nearby Nebraska (you
know, that place north of Kansas withthe tallest state capitol that they nick-name something I can’t say here, and astate college whose football team hasraucous fans that come here when theyplay K-State and get drunk and spendmoney) actually has an innovative, ifnot completely thought out, plan to do
something different.His name is Ben Sasse (pronouncedwith a silent e) and he’s highly conser-vative with Tea Party connections. Of
course, he’s a University President,
albeit one I’ve never heard of before(“Midland University,” which is affili-ated with the liberal Lutheran denomi-nation, the Evangelical LutheranChurch in America, or ELCA) so hemight be a double agent.
But maybe not — every denomina-tion has liberal and conservative wings,but some are just smaller than others.
While Midland does indeed haveELCA roots, it’s interesting that oneclick on its website to its “About Us”page includes its “nondiscriminationpolicy” which specifically does not
include the category “sexual orienta-tion” like most Methodist and CatholicUniversities do. So it may just be amore conservative college tied to a lib-eral denomination through a quirk ofhistory.
Anyhow, here’s Sasse’s idea. Hewants to move the nation’s capital toNebraska. Beyond that he’s not specif-
ic, but, wow, what a wonderful idea.Get those lawmakers, bureaucrats,media players, diplomats, hostesses,lobbyists, rent girls and boys, and ear-nest young aides out of the D.C. swampand stick ‘em right out here in themiddle of the prairie! Pretty soon the
Tandoori Indian restaurants that deliv-er till midnight, trendy clubs in base-ments of office complexes, cruisingtaxis, and cigar boutiques will be pop-ping up everywhere.
Now, Sasse doesn’t say where inCornhusker Land he’d put it — after
all, he’s running for office for the wholestate so he has to be prudent aboutsuch things.
One gets the impression he meanssomeplace out in the flatlands likeLodge Pole or Kearney, but, remember
— back to Midland’s website again,which says the college is “25 minutes
from Omaha” — he’s from the moreurbanized eastern part of Nebraska, so...
That got me thinking.Where he’s talking about is just over
three hours away from us. Maybeinstead of near Omaha or Lincoln, it’d
be better situated on this side of the
40th parallel (the line of latitude whichincludes the Kansas-Nebraska bor-der).
After all, the geographic center ofthe contiguous 48 states is at Lebanon, just west of Clay Center.
We have interstates. We have air-ports. We have a military base ... say,why not put the Capitol right at FortRiley?
The Old Post is full of historic build-ings. Some could be sold to the Danesand the Thais and the Colombians forembassies and so on. We could be likethe Virginia suburbs of D.C. and Man-hattan like the Maryland ones.
And, best of all, we could put inMetro Lines right under the streets inthe esoteric patterns like Pierre
L’Enfant and Benjamin Banneker laidout in the Potomac delta back east.
As for D.C., we could maintain it asis, mostly as museums. We could keepthe Pentagon there but relocate the
real military power here.We could leave the Supreme Court
there. Other nations have more thanone capital. The Netherlands hasAmsterdam and The Hague; SouthAfrica has Johannesburg and Cape-town; Bolivia has three, La Paz, Sucre,
and Cochabamba.The growth and massive infusion of
government largesse right here wouldbe the best possible boon to the localeconomy we could ever hope to get.
If Sasse wins — which seems likelyat this point, but who knows — Kansas’Moran and Roberts ought to take him
aside after he’s sworn in and be like,“Yo, Dude, about that idea you had?We’re going with it, but with one littlechange.”

Democrat raises$1M for Kansasgovernor’s race
TOPEKA — Democratic
candidate Paul Davis raised
a little more than $1 million
in cash contributions in lessthan five months for his bid
to unseat Republican incum-
bent Sam Brownback in the
Kansas governor’s race,
Davis’ campaign reportedWednesday.
Davis’ team touted thefundraising as unprecedent-
ed for a challenger in the
GOP-leaning state, but close
Brownback ally David Kens-inger said he was unim-
pressed because the Republi-
can’s re-election campaign
had more than twice as much
cash on hand at the end of2013 as Davis did.
The Democrat’s campaign
filed a finance report with
the secretary of state’s office
Wednesday showing it fin-ished last year with nearly
$771,000 in cash after raising
its $1 million.
Kensinger, who managed
Brownback’s 2010 campaign,served as the governor’s
chief of staff and is now act-
ing informally as his re-elec-
tion spokesman, confirmed
Tuesday that Brownback
ended 2013 with almost $2million in campaign cash
after raising more than $1.6
million during the year.
Brownback’s campaign
has not filed its report, butthe deadline isn’t until Fri-
day.
Davis, from Lawrence, is
the Kansas House minority
leader, and he formed hiscampaign committee for the
governor’s race in early
August. Bob Beatty, a politi-cal science professor at
Washburn University ofTopeka, said it was impor-
tant for Davis to hit the $1
million mark in fundraising
to show potential donors and
others that he can run a
credible campaign.Doing so was “impressive
in the relatively short
amount of time he had,”
Beatty said.
“He’s a legitimate chal-lenger and a strong challeng-
er,” Beatty said. “He passed
his first test.”
Davis’ campaign said it
had more than 3,300 donors
from 175 communities in 65
of the state’s 105 counties,
with the majority of donors
contributing $200 or less.
The campaign said itsfundraising shows that Davis
has support among unaffili-
ated and Republican voters
— something he needs in a
state in which Democrats
make up fewer than 25 per-cent of the 1.7 million regis-
tered voters.
“Kansans in every corner
of the state are concerned
about the direction we areheaded under Sam Brown-
back,” Davis said in a state-
ment announcing the fig-ures.
Kensinger said Brown-
back has 10,000 donors —
three times as many as Davis
reported — and has collectedcontributions from every
county in Kansas.
“Forty Kansas counties
didn’t give them a dime,”
Kensinger said. “So much forbeing governor of the entire
state.”
Davis’ donors included
former Lt. Gov. Gary Sher-
rer and former state Senate
Majority Leader Tim Emert,both moderate Republicans.
Sherrer contributed $500 and
Emert, $250; the maximum
allowed is $2,000.
The Democrat is trying to
appeal to unaffiliated votersand moderate and liberal
Republicans unhappy with
the conservative GOP gover-
nor by making funding forpublic schools a major issue.
Brownback successfully
pushed for massive personal
income tax cuts and expects
them to stimulate the econo-my, but critics, including
Davis and many educators,
believe the reductions will
starve schools and state pro-
grams of money.But Kensinger said it
would be unprecedented for
a challenger to overcome a
2.5-to-1 deficit in cash on
hand at the beginning of anelection year.
He noted that Kansas law
prevents candidates from
accepting contributions from
corporations or politicalaction committees during
the Legislature’s annual,
90-day session, which begins
next week.
Beatty acknowledged that
Davis’ campaign will have tosustain its fundraising to
keep its campaign viable but
said last year’s figures repre-
sent “a good start.”
Topeka motel deathnow called homicide
TOPEKA — The death of
a Topeka woman found in a
motel room in November
has officially been classi-
fied as a homicide.The Topeka Capital-Jour-
nal reports police con-
firmed the classification
Wednesday but would not
say how 39-year-old Lee
Ann Keithley died, citing
the continuing investiga-
tion.
A worker found Keithley’s
body the afternoon Nov. 16
in a room at the Country
Club Motel on the city’s
south side.
No arrests have been
made, and police Maj. Jerry
Stanley declined to say if
any suspects had been iden-
tified.
Investigators had treated
the case as a possible homi-
cide from the start but
awaited the coroner’s
report before classifying
the death as a homicide.
The confirmation brings
Topeka’s 2013 homicide
count to 12, including four
related and still unsolved
killings that occurred Dec.
1.
Justices seek morebriefs in ‘Hard 50’
casesTOPEKA— Kansas
Supreme Court justices on
Tuesday asked attorneys
for the state and four
inmates to file additional
legal briefs regarding the
state’s “Hard 50” prison
sentence.The state has made
changes to its “Hard 50” law
since a U.S. Supreme Court
ruling last June in which it
said that juries, not judges,must determine whether to
impose mandatory mini-
mum sentences.
Defendants who receive
the “Hard 50” are sentenced
to life in prison and aren’teligible for parole for at
least 50 years. Previously,
Kansas had judges hand
down such sentences.
The Kansas SupremeCourt is looking at four
cases decided after lawmak-
ers amended the state law.Each case involves a defen-
dant convicted of premedi-
tated first-degree murder.
Legislators met in Sep-
tember in special session tomake it so that juries,
instead of judges, deter-
mine “Hard 50” sentences.
The new law specifically
says it would apply to casesstill at trial or on appeal.
Tuesday’s two-page order
from the Kansas Supreme
Court, signed by Chief Jus-
tice Lawton Nuss, asks
attorneys to address wheth-
er failure to have a jurydecide the sentence amount-
ed to a harmless error at
trial.
Among the nuances toconsider is whether the evi-
dence would have been suf-
ficient to support the harsh-
er sentence beyond a rea-
sonable doubt.If the errors aren’t harm-
less, the justices are asking
whether the appropriate
recourse is the send the
cases back to district courtfor resentencing.
The order applies to the
appeals of defendants Mat-
thew Astorga, Dustin Hilt,
Jonell Lloyd and EldierMolina. Astorga’s case was
one that was sent back to
Kansas by the U.S. Supreme
Court following its June
ruling.
Attorneys for the state
have argued that the chang-
es made by legislators in
September were procedural
in nature and that the sen-
tences should stand, or at
the least, be sent back for a
jury to consider, with the
“Hard 50” still an option.
Defense attorneys argue
that changes made to the
law amount to a new crime
and punishment that didn’t
exist until September and
thus couldn’t be applied to
cases that were decided as
much as a decade ago.
If the justices agree with
defense attorneys that thechanges violate the U.S.
Constitution, the sentences
would be set aside and the
penalty would revert to a
mandatory 25-year sentence
before parole consider-
ation.
In Kansas, the only pen-
alties tougher than the
“Hard 50” are capital pun-
ishment and life without
parole, the alternative to
death in a capital case and a
sentence also possible for
some habitual sex offend-
ers.
Suspect in Derbyhomicide waivesprelim hearing
DERBY — A Derby man
charged in the death of his
girlfriend and the wound-ing of her son waived his
right to a preliminary hear-
ing.
An attorney for 40-year-
old Charles A. Beck Jr.
entered not guilty pleasWednesday for Beck on
charges of first-degree
murder and attempted
murder.
Beck is charged in the
Sept. 1 strangulation of44-year-old Lonnie Staggs
at her Derby home.
Prosecutors say Beckalso tried to strangle Staggs’
teenage son but he was able
to lock himself and an
11-year-old sister in anoth-
er room.Beck turned himself in
shortly after the deaths in
Texas County, Mo.
The Wichita Eagle
reports he is being held in
the Sedgwick County Jailon a $1 million bond.
Hutchinson mighthost longer
‘Smallville’ festivalHUTCHINSON — Hutchin-
son is considering a stronger
effort to promote its claim ofbeing the hometown of
Superman’s alter ego, Clark
Kent.
Last year, the city renamed
itself Smallville for one day.
But a promoter asked the
City Council Tuesday to con-
sider expanding the designa-
tion to four days to coincide
with a festival celebrating
the fictional character and
other superheroes.
Superman’s hometown
has often been depicted as
being somewhere in Kansas,
although no specific city was
ever named and some Super-
man fans claim he was born
in different states.
Organizer Christopher
Wietrick asked the council to
support the larger festival,
which would coincide with a
Smallville Comic-Con on
June 21-22 at the Kansas
State Fairgrounds, The
Hutchinson News reported.
“We can build a big festival
that will draw tourism into
town,” he told the council.
Mayor Bob Bush said he
didn’t think anyone would
object to proclaiming
Hutchinson Smallville for
June 19-22.
“As the first mayor of
Smallville, you’ve increasedmy whimsy factor,” Bush
said.

The Junction City Com-mission is pleased with thework the Junction City AreaChamber of Commerce hasaccomplished in its nearlytwo years as a consolidatedorganization.
Commissioners sharedthat sentiment Tuesdaynight after Chamber CEO
Tom Weigand delivered apresentation reflecting onthe past and outlining thefuture.
“I think from here on,you’ll start seeing somemore accomplishments thanyou have in the last year ortwo,” Weigand said duringthe meeting.
In early 2012, the Cham-ber Activities Division, Eco-nomic Development Com-mission, Geary County Con-
vention and Visitors Bureauand the Military AffairsCouncil combined to form
the Chamber of Commerce.Weigand came on as CEO inMay that year.
Weigand said he believesJunction City needs “togrow from” relying exclu-sively on Fort Riley as “ourbase of economic develop-ment.”
In 2014, Weigand said thechamber would like to cre-ate a common theme forJunction City, pursue a pri-vate capital funding cam-paign, continue to supportthe Geary County casinoconcept and recruit compa-
nies in the bioscience andanimal health industries.
“Hopefully we can check
some of those (goals) off,”Junction City Mayor CecilAska said. To complete thosetasks, Weigand said thechamber first needs to takecare of a few items.
“We need shovel-readyland,” he said. “We do needcapital.”
Weigand said the cham-ber recognizes the need toreach out to local landown-ers.
As for the capital, Weigandsaid he’s going to approachthe chamber board of direc-tors about beginning a five-
year, private fundraisingcampaign. The moneyraised could be used to
attract businesses throughvarious incentives.
Pottawatomie Countyrecently completed a similarcampaign that raised about$1 million. Manhattan alsoran a campaign that raisedabout $2.7 million, Weigandsaid.
“I would have a goal of acouple million bucks overfive years,” he said.
Those funds could comein handy to help the cham-ber accomplish some of itslong-term goals.
A list of goals for 2020 pro-
vided by Weigand states theorganization would like tohave brought to Junction
City a “game-changer”industrial business, a “megagrocery store” on the westside of town, a new eight-screen cinema on Ash Street,an outdoors specialty storeon Ash Street and a com-pleted sports complex thatwould “be recognized as thetop-rated complex in Kan-sas.”
Weigand said none ofthose goals will be accom-plished quickly.
“It doesn’t happen over-night,” he said. “It takesmoney.”

By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Presi-dent Barack Obama isexpected to tighten restric-tions on U.S. spying on for-eign leaders and also is con-sidering changes in NationalSecurity Agency access toAmericans’ phone records,according to people familiarwith a White Housereview of the nation’ssurveillance pro-grams.
Obama could unveilhis highly anticipateddecisions as early asnext week. Ahead ofthat announcement,he is consulting withlawmakers, privacyadvocates and intelli-gence officials who wereinvited to White House meet-ings Wednesday and Thurs-day.
“He’s at that stage stillwhere he’s listening and dis-cussing with a variety ofstakeholders and appreci-ates very much the opinionsand counsel he’s getting onthis matter,” White House
spokesman Jay Carney said.Among the changes
Obama is expected toannounce is more oversightof the National IntelligencePriorities Framework, aclassified document that
ranks U.S. intelligence- gath-ering priorities and is usedto make decisions on scruti-ny of foreign leaders.
A presidential reviewboard recommendedincreasing the number ofpolicy officials who helpestablish those priorities,and that could result in lim-its on surveillance of allies.
D o c u m e n t sreleased by formerNSA contractorEdward Snowden
revealed that theU.S. was monitor-ing the communi-cations of severalfriendly foreignleaders, includingGerman Chancel-lor Angela Merkel.
The revelations outragedMerkel as well as other lead-ers, and U.S. officials say thedisclosures have damagedObama’s relations aroundthe world.
Obama and Merkel spokeby phone Wednesday, butU.S. officials would not saywhether they discussed theNSA issues.
The president also is saidto be considering one of thereview board’s most aggres-sive recommendations, aproposal to strip the NSA ofits ability to store telephonerecords from millions of
Americans and instead havephone companies or a thirdparty hold the records.
The NSA would be able toaccess the records only byobtaining separate courtapproval for each search,though exceptions could bemade for emergency nation-al security matters.
It’s unclear whetherObama will ultimately backthe proposal or how quicklyit could be carried out if hedoes.
Before making his finaldecisions, the president wassupposed to receive a sepa-rate report from a semi-inde-pendent commission knownas the Privacy and Civil Lib-erties Oversight Board,which was created by Con-gress.
However, that panel’sreport has been delayedwithout explanation until atleast late January, meaningit won’t reach the presidentuntil after he makes his deci-sions public.
Members of that oversightboard did meet with Obamaon Wednesday and havebriefed other administrationofficials on some of theirpreliminary findings. In astatement, the five-memberpanel said its meeting withthe president focused on theNSA phone collection pro-
gram and the Foreign Intel-ligence Surveillance Court,which oversees the datasweeps. White House spokes-woman Caitlin Haydencalled it a good opportunityfor Obama “to hear thegroup’s views directly as webegin to finalize our internalreview.”
It’s unclear why Obamawill announce his recom-mendations before receivingthe report from the privacyand civil liberties board.
One official familiar withthe review process said thatsome White House officialswere puzzled by the board’sdelay.
But the official said thereport probably would stillhave strong weight in Con-gress, where legislators aregrappling with several billsaimed at dismantling or pre-serving the NSA’s authority.
That official and thosefamiliar with the WhiteHouse review insisted onanonymity because theywere not authorized to dis-cuss the process by name.
Obama and Vice PresidentJoe Biden also met at theWhite House with AttorneyGeneral Eric Holder andmembers of the U.S. intelli-gence community, the WhiteHouse said, including Direc-tor of National Intelligence
James Clapper and the headsof the NSA, FBI and CIA.The intelligence communitylargely supports keeping theNSA surveillance programsintact.
On Thursday, the presi-dent will meet with mem-bers of Congress, while histop lawyer, Kathryn Ruem-mler, will meet with repre-sentatives from privacygroups.
Shortly after receiving thereview board recommenda-
tions last month, Obama sig-naled that he could be opento significant surveillancechanges, including to thebulk collecting of phonerecords.
“There are ways we can doit, potentially, that gives peo-ple greater assurance thatthere are checks and bal-ances — that there’s suffi-cient oversight and sufficienttransparency,” Obama saidduring a Dec. 20 news con-ference. He added that pro-grams like the bulk collec-tion “could be redesigned inways that give you the sameinformation when you needit without creating thesepotentials for abuse.”
The president also hasbacked the idea of adding apublic advocate position to
the Foreign Intelligence Sur-veillance Court which ruleson many of the domesticsurveillance decisions.
The court typically hearsonly from the government asit decides cases and the advo-cate would be added to rep-resent privacy and civil lib-erties concerns.
That review followed dis-closures from Snowden, theformer government contrac-tor, who leaked details ofseveral secret government
programs. Snowden facesespionage charges in theU.S., but has been grantedtemporary asylum in Rus-sia.
While Obama has said hewelcomes the review, it’sunlikely it would haveoccurred without Snowden’sdisclosures.
Added pressure came lastmonth from a court decisionby a federal judge in Wash-ington who questioned thephone surveillance pro-gram’s constitutionality andcalled it “almost Orwellian”in scope. In his Decemberruling, U.S. District JudgeRichard Leon said the NSAprogram appeared to violate4th Amendment protectionsagainst unreasonablesearches.

Dear Annie: I am writingto you with a heavy heart.
I have been married to my
second wife for 20 years.We dated for two years, and
she became impatient with myreluctance to get married.
We both wanted kids, buther timetable was differentthan mine.
Even though I was oldenough to know better (46), Imarried her because she gotpregnant.
I am positive that she did itintentionally.
We are different.I am clean and organized,
and I work hard.She is messy to the point of
dirty, stubborn, disorganized,lazy and vindictive.
She has tried to sabotagemy relationship with our twochildren who are now in theirlate teens.
In spite of her efforts, I havecreated a good relationshipwith my son.
But my younger daughter isanother story. She is like hermother: a spoiled brat.
I know I am partly respon-sible for the way she’s turnedout.
I would like to create a lov-ing relationship before shegoes to college in August.
I know it’s late to fix this,but do you have any sugges-tions? — Getting This Off
My ChestDear Getting: It’s never too
late to try to mend relation-ships.
The first one should be withyour wife.
You are terribly resentful,and it’s obvious that you don’tactually like her.
Although you may havegood reason, your childrenundoubtedly see it and reactaccordingly.
It also fuels your wife’sdesire to get back at you.
And finally, how you relateto your wife affects how yourelate to your daughter, whohas a similar personality.
She identifies with Momand may believe you resentand dislike her, as well.
Get counseling — alone,with your wife or with yourdaughter.
Whatever you can arrange.Dear Annie: My 67-year-
old mother is an alcoholic.Two years ago, she was
diagnosed with dementia.Mom is now on medication
for depression and high bloodpressure and is living with mysister “Shannon.”
I have seven siblings.When Shannon needs a
break, my brothers and I take
turns with Mom on the week-ends.Mom wanders off during
the day while Shannon is atwork and catches a ride withstrangers to get alcohol.
My sister is tired andstressed and says she is fed upbecause we are not helpingher.
It’s true that we all could domore, but no one really wantsto.
Mom is a handful.
Mom is capable of taking
care of herself only when she
is not drinking.
Otherwise, she has out-
bursts and tantrums.
Shannon has decided to
place Mom in a facility.
Mom is on a low fixed
income.
Where could she go? —
Worried Sis
Dear Worried: First, take
your mother to her physician
and have her evaluated to see
whether she can manage at an
independent senior residence
or requires an assisted-living
facility.
Then call the Eldercare
Locator (eldercare.gov) at
1-800-677-1116 for informationabout available places, and
take the time to visit those that
seem appropriate.
Please do not make Shan-
non do this on her own.
Surely, eight children can
do this for one mother, no mat-
ter how difficult she is.
Dear Annie: I read the let-
ter from “Drowning in Junk,”
whose wife is a hoarder.
He asked whether he could
toss stuff while she is out of
town. You were right to tell
him not to do that.
“Cleaning out” (throwing
everything away without the
hoarder’s involvement) canactually exacerbate the prob-
lem.
Please ask “Drowning” to
reach out to his local police,
fire and health departments
and ask whether there is a
Hoarding Task Force in his
area.
Hoarding Task Forces are
being organized nationwide.
Often the task force will
offer direct assistance or refer-
rals to resources including
cleaners, organizers and men-
tal health organizations.
We have a Hording Task
Force here that consults all
over the state. — Burlington,

ARIES (March 21 — April 19). Goodfortune will depend on how people reactto your deeds. Ponder the best approach.If you’re bold, you’ll earn the public’s sup-port. If you’re meek, you’ll earn theiradoration and love.
TAURUS (April 20 — May 20). Eventhose who don’t appear to hear the callof the wild will heed it. They may denytheir animal nature, but that won’t makeit go away. You will embrace your animalnature, hear the call and heed it.
GEMINI (May 21 — June 21). Some-one you’re trying to help is being difficult— a sign that he or she does not in factneed the help so desperately. The oldsaying goes that a drowning man isn’tpicky about who throws him a rope.
CANCER (June 22 — July 22). You’renot feeling completely enamored with apartnership, but it could still work outbrilliantly, as many “marriages of conve-nience” do. This likely has to do withsomething other than a romantic rela-tionship.
LEO (July 23 — Aug. 22). In regard tosand castles and domino mazes, futility isthe whole point. Some games are madefor destruction, and you have a moresatisfying experience with them whenyou keep this in mind.
VIRGO (Aug. 23 — Sept. 22). You canfake applause more easily than you canfake laughter, and you may have to doboth to get through today’s little show.But the good news is, when you come
home, it’s genuine joy all around!
LIBRA (Sept. 23 — Oct. 23). The per-son who is being greedy is really afraidthat people won’t think enough of him orher to provide for deep-seated needs.Allay this person’s fear, and the greed willgo away, too.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 — Nov. 21). You’llhave fun doing away with the formalities.Start a conversation in the middle or, evenbetter, about three-quarters of the waythrough. Make a positive presumptionand go from there.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 — Dec. 21).Your intention changes an interaction.Instead of being concerned with whatyou can get out of a relationship, you’llthink only about enjoying the other per-son, who in turn will become most enjoy-
able.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 — Jan. 19). You’ll
receive psychic information and knowwhat a person is feeling or, more likely,hiding. This doesn’t mean you have to callthe person out. The kind thing would beto quietly make note and keep it to your-self.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 — Feb. 18). You’rehappy to help loved ones, but not whenyou’re doing about 20 other things at thesame time. Maybe you need more helpthan the people who are asking for it!
PISCES (Feb. 19 — March 20). Perse-vere. You don’t have to change a thingabout what you’re doing; you just have todo it for a longer period of time. Theresistance you are encountering eventu-
ally will wear down.

The Junction City boys’ basket-ball team (3-2, 1-0) entered winterbreak riding one of its hotteststreaks in recent memory, winningthree of the final four games inDecember.
The Blue Jays are hoping the
three-week break doesn’t chill theteam lower than the recent tem-perature drop when they return toaction against No 1 ranked High-land Park (5-0, 2-0) Friday night.
Junction City coach Pat Battlesaid any coach who can successful-ly come up with a strategy to cir-cumvent a long lay-off will be ableto make a lot of money with a bookdeal.
“I think the best way to do it, I’mhoping we’re successful, is we’ve just done a lot of competing inpractice, a lot of competition thingsthe last three weeks,” he said. “I
really think that isthe number oneingredient so that
now when we havea competitive situa-tion, we’ve beencompeting, we’vebeen putting it onthe clock, we’vebeen keeping scoreso to speak.”
The Scots haveshown a penchant
for falling behind early in games,only to routinely dig in and pullthemselves out.
Tuesday was no different. High-
land Park fell behind ShawneeHeights 16-2 before storming backto earn a 17-point victory.
Junction City forward JordanLawrence said the Scots’ size cancause trouble for opponents.
Highland Park forward ShaffreeCarr dropped 21 points on ShawneeHeights
“I really just try to get low,” Law-rence said on combating the Scot’sbigs. “I know my weaknesses so Itry to channel in on theirs becausethey don’t have to play a lot of bigs
like me, so I have to take away whatthey like.”
The tipoff time for the boys’ gamewas moved up to 7 p.m. after High-land Park announced it wouldhonor retiring boys’ basketballcoach Ken Darting by naming itsbasketball court after him in a cer-emony at 6:30.
“We need to stay motivated, knowwhy they’re dedicating the court,”Lawrence said. “We feel they choseus for a reason so that motivates us

No. 25 Kansas State wins 10th straight gameAssociated Press
FORT WORTH, Texas —
Thomas Gipson knew he
didn’t play very well last sea-
son when he traveled home
for Kansas State’s game at
TCU, and he admits he was a
little anxious for Tuesday
night’s game, too.
But with 24 family mem-
bers cheering him on, Gipson
had 19 points and eight
rebounds, and No. 25 Kansas
State ran its winning streak
to 10 games with a 65-47 vic-
tory over TCU.
“I feel like the freshmanand the young guys were anx-
ious,” Gipson said. “I mean, I
was kind of anxious, too,
because I was at home and I
wanted to make plays.”
The TCU campus is about
30 miles from where Gipson
played at Cedar Hill High
School southwest of Dallas,
and last season Gipson man-
aged just four points, one
rebound and two turnovers inKansas State’s 67-54 win.
This time, Gipson had three
dunks and was a key cog in
the middle.
“I don’t think we did handle
him — for the most part he
had his way with us,” TCU
forward Amric Fields said ofGipson. “We had problems
with him all night.”
The Wildcats (12-3, 2-0 Big12), who made their way into
the Top 25 for the first timethis season on Monday, playedtheir first true road game ofthe season. But it didn’t seemto faze them. Kansas State
had its highest shooting per-centage of the season bothoverall (52.5 percent) andfrom 3-point range (46.7 per-cent).
“When we were patient, we
were able to exploit them andget it to Thomas (Gipson) andthen Marcus Foster in thesecond half,” Kansas Statecoach Bruce Weber said.

Selden scores 24 as No. 18 Kansas beats Oklahoma 90-83BY MURRAY EVANS
Associated Press
NORMAN, Okla. — DuringKansas’ shootaround onWednesday before the Jay-hawks faced Oklahoma,coach Bill Self told WayneSelden Jr. that the freshmanneeded to be more aggressiveon offense.
Selden Jr. did what Selftold him, scoring a career-
high 24 points and going 5 of10 from 3-point range, andNo. 18 Kansas started Big 12Conference play with a 90-83win over Oklahoma.
Kansas (10-4, 1-0) won itsconference opener for the23rd straight year, a streakthat began with the 1991-92season. Oklahoma, in Janu-ary 1991, was the last team tobeat the Jayhawks in a con-ference opener.
“It was the confidence myteammates and coaches havein me,” Selden Jr. said of hissuccessful game. “I was out
there just playing and notthinking.
“That’s just Kansas basket-ball. We’re trying to start offBig 12 play on the right foot,so we feel like we’ve got to goafter all loose balls and we’vegot to pick up our defensiveintensity. ... I know it’s tradi-tion-rich and I just want toput forth my best effort andthe team wants to put forthits best effort to keep it
going.”Perry Ellis had 22 points on6-for-8 shooting and 11rebounds, helping Kansasshoot 54.7 percent from thefield.
After a 5-0 start, the Jay-hawks lost four of its nexteight and were coming off a61-57 loss to San Diego Stateon Sunday that ended their’68-game home winning streakagainst nonconference foes.

A minor uproar broke out inthe sports community Wednes-
day afternoon when it wasrevealed that ESPN’s Dan LeBetard turned over his vote forthe Baseball Hall of Fame to thereaders of Deadspin.com.
The revelation came after theHall announced Greg Maddux,Frank Thomas and Tom Glavinewere selected for enshrinementinto Cooper-stown.
I have noqualms with anyof the selectionsbecause whileeach of thosethree begantheir profession-al careers while
I was still in dia-pers (Glavineand Madduxactually debuted before mybirth), each played at a highlevel for a long enough period oftime that I remember theirimpact.
Despite having no connectionto any team Maddux played for,I still once drew a picture ofhim when I was a kid. Whiledefinitely not the most awe-inspiring piece of art, it is stillproudly displayed in my mom’soffice all these years later. As ayoungster trying to rise throughthe little league ranks, I couldtell he was a special talent.
But Deadspin obtaining a voteand passing it along to its read-ers is really intriguing.
The website has gained noto-riety for its propensity andunabashed dedication to show-ing an unfiltered look at theunderside of athletics.
This time, the website used itsreach to give a vote to the fans.
On the whole, the selectionsmade by the Deadpin readersseem legitimate, since its topthree were the ones selected.
Le Betard said in a statementreleased by Deadspin he felt his“vote has gotten pretty worth-less in the avalanche of sancti-mony that has swallowed it.”
Much of Le Betard’s criticismconcentrates on the currentissue as to whether players sus-pected of using steroids, or sim-ply those who played in the ste-roid heyday, should be allowedaccess to the Hall.
The one thing I’m sure of isthat I don’t have near enoughyears walking this earth todecide the fate of those men.
But I’m not opposed to lettingthe fans have a say in the deci-sion.

No. 6 Wichita St shutsdown Illinois State, 66-47
BY JEFFREY PARSON
Associated Press
WICHITA — After his team won its 14thstraight game, Wichita State coach GreggMarshall challenged his players to makevast improvements on defense.
Two games later, he will need to find
something else to harp on. The sixth-ranked Shockers cruised past IllinoisState 66-47 Wednesday night, holding theRedbirds to 32.7 percent shooting (18 of55).
Wichita State (16-0, 3-0 Missouri ValleyConference) managed to improve on the33.9 percent shooting it limited NorthernIowa to on Sunday.
“We are just more engaged as a groupon that end,” Marshall said. “We didn’thave many individual breakdowns.”
Cleanthony Early and Ron Baker eachscored 11 points for the Shockers, whoextended both the longest winning streakand best start to a season in program his-tory.
Bobby Hunter came off the bench to
score a team-high 11 points for IllinoisState (8-7, 1-2), but the Redbirds’ starterswere a combined 10 of 42 from the floor.
“It’s something we talked about everyday,” Baker said. “We have to improvedefensively. We have to improve defen-sively. We have to improve defensively. Itwas more than once daily, really.”
Already up by 13 at halftime, WichitaState started the second half with sevenstraight points. Chadrack Lufile scoredthe first four down low, and Tekele Cottonhit a 3-pointer for a 44-24 lead.
“That’s a stretch when I don’t think wecompeted as hard as we could,” IllinoisState coach Dan Muller said. “We droppedour heads a little bit. They hit big shots. Alot of their 3-pointers came right at theend of the shot clock, and it was a little
demoralizing. But you can’t let it be.”An 8-3 Shockers run featuring Nick
Wiggins hitting a 3-pointer and converting
an alley-oop slam pushed their advantage
to 54-30 with 10:53 remaining.The spurt also contained the worst
moments of the night for Wichita State.Starting point guard Fred VanVleet had
his left leg bent awkwardly in a f ight for arebound. VanVleet immediately fell to thefloor before walking to the locker room to
be checked by doctors.“It was a scary kind of thing,” VanVleet
said. “I don’t even remember what hap-
pened. I had the ball, and I think he wentfor it, too, and my knee pushed inward.”
VanVleet has been Wichita State’s bestplayer lately. In the previous four games,
he averaged 18.3 points while compiling 21assists and just one turnover. So the crowdwas subdued until Baker motioned for
noise after throwing the alley-oop pass toWiggins.
VanVleet soon returned to the benchand played much of the final 10 minutes,
finishing the game with six points, 10assists, seven rebounds and no turnovers.
Wichita State cruised upon his return.
Darius Carter’s layup off VanVleet’s alley-oop gave the Shockers a 63-40 lead with3:54 remaining, and Marshall started call-
ing for walk-ons to enter the game.It was one of many lob passes for the
Shockers.“They start four guards and a big in
that 2-3 zone,” VanVleet said. “So when wehave 6-8 and 6-9 guys who can jump up tothe square, we wanted to take advantage
of that as much as we can.”The Shockers started taking control
midway through the first half. After a
3-pointer from Illinois State’s Paris Leemade the score 14-12 Shockers, Bakeranswered with a deep 3 to beat the shotclock buzzer.
That started a 17-4 Wichita State runthat featured 3-pointers from Baker andCotton. The Shockers’ first-half advan-
tage grew to as many as 15 after two freethrows by Baker made it 31-16 with 4:14 toplay in the half.
In affairs of the heart,sometimes it helps tohave a woman’s touch.
While fatalities due to heart disease have declined steadily in men over
the last 25 years, 34-percent of all women are living with it in one form or
another. Luckily, there’s Dr. Mamidipally. She’s the Topeka area’s only female
cardiologist, and she practices exclusively at St. Francis Health. Her expertise
makes her an invaluable resource on women’s cardiovascular
issues — and a real comfort to the women who need her most.

about 120 miles from his
hometown of Wichita Falls,Texas, added 16 points for
the Wildcats. The reigningBig 12 newcomer of the
week hit two 3-pointers in aone-minute span late in thesecond half that helped put
the game out of reach.“He’s so consistent and
he’s so focused for a youngguy,” Weber said. “He made
big shots for us where wewere dying there in the sec-ond half.”
Fields scored 14 pointsand Kyan Anderson added
12 for TCU (9-5, 0-2), whichtrailed 31-21 at halftime.
The Horned Frogs used a10-2 run to get within 36-33with 13:45 to play, but Kan-
sas State responded with a9-3 run — keyed by a wide-
open 3-pointer by ShaneS th ll d th Wild
TCU, which is 6-1 thisseason when out-rebound-ing its opponent, werepounded on the glass withKansas State finishing witha 37-21 advantage.
“We had shots,” TCUcoach Trent Johnson said.“When the ball doesn’t godown it shouldn’t affect theway you play on the otherend. They had 18 turnoversbut it didn’t affect the waythey played on the otherend. What does that say?They’re a mentally toughteam.”
Powerful dunks by Gip-son and Wesley Iwundugave Kansas State a 20-10lead with less than 6 min-utes to play in the first half.TCU’s next possessionended with a layup byJarvis Ray and that endeda span of just three pointsin nearly 11 minutes forthe Horned Frogs.

JCHS Girls use break tofinish implementing scheme
In his first year as the JunctionCity girls’ basketball coach, NateParks was only able to partiallyinstall his new up-tempo offenseand defense before the season start-ed.
So Parks used the three-weekwinter break as a chance to finishmoving his Blue Jays (2-3, 0-1) up tofull speed before the team resumesits season at Highland Park (1-5, 0-2)Friday.
Parks said he specifically focusedon his team’s movement on bothoffense and defense over the break.
“I think confidence and under-
standing what we’re trying to do onoffense and defense has improvedthe most,” he said.
Parks is familiar with Highland
Park after spending four years as
Junction City’s assistant coach
before stepping into the head role
this season.
The Blue Jays defeated the Scots
in both meetings last season.
“I think they’re probably going to
try and play us like they did last
year when they tried to press us
then fell back into a zone,” Parks
said. “I’m guessing they’re going to
do the same thing again so that’s
what I’ve been preparing for.”
The dedication ceremony which
will proceed both varsity games,
pushed the girls’ contest after the
boys, with an estimated 8:30 p.m.
start time.
Parks isn’t worried about the time
change affecting his team’s play.
“One of the things we’ve always
talked about is we try to prepare for
our toughest opponent,” he said.
“And if we’re prepared for our
toughest opponent, we’re going to
be okay with anybody.”

win in the series could beespecially important, con-sidering the difficult stretchthey face to start the Big 12
campaign. After Oklahoma,Kansas will host No. 25Kansas State, visit No. 9Iowa State, then host No. 11Oklahoma State and No. 7Baylor, all in succession.
“It’s going to be a mon-ster,” Self said. “Our leagueis great. When you thinkabout OU and they go downand they win at Texas, andTexas wins at North Caro-lina. K-State is playing aswell as anybody right now.Iowa State is obviously ter-rific, and Baylor. We’veprobably been, nonconfer-ence-wise, one of the biggerdisappointments in theleague, based on our pre-season expectations. I thinkit’s going to be a fabulousleague.”
Cameron Clark had acareer high-tying 32 pointsfor Oklahoma (12-3, 1-1),which lost for the secondtime in three games. In loss-es to Louisiana Tech andKansas, the Sooners gaveup 102 and 90 points, respec-tively.
“It is very frustrating,”Clark said. “We just have togo back to the drawingboard. It all starts ondefense. We just have to
come together as a groupand figured out what it iswe are not doing and getbetter at it.”
The annual visit to LloydNoble Center by the Jay-hawks — who have won orshared nine straight Big 12titles — drew fans includingcountry music star TobyKeith, Oklahoma CityThunder chairman ClayBennett, and Thunder gen-eral manager Sam Presti.
Before the game, Oklaho-ma football player SterlingShepard — who scored twotouchdowns in the Sooners’win over Alabama in the
Sugar Bowl — appeared ina video in which he said,“OK, basketball, we got ourbig win. Now it’s time to getyours.”
But the Sooners neverreally slowed Kansas andstruggled to deal with theJayhawks’ size advantageinside. Kansas had a 36-22edge in rebounding anddidn’t seem bothered by a
subpar game by AndrewWiggins. The star freshmanwent 2 of 9 from the fieldand scored only nine points,only the second time thisseason he failed to reachdouble digits.
“Kansas is awfully good
and did a good job dictatinga lot of it, for a majority ofthe minutes,” Oklahomacoach Lon Kruger said. “Ithought our guys battledhard. There were maybe acouple of stretches in therewhen we didn’t quite com-pete like we have to againsta club like that to have achance that we’d like tohave.”
Kansas led 50-44 at half-time and two free throws byJoel Embild made it 74-62with 10:39 left.
Oklahoma stayed withinstriking distance and pulledwithin four points four
times, the last time at 87-83after a turnover by Wigginsand steal by Ryan Spanglerled to a dunk by BuddyHield with 39.9 secondsleft.
Naadir Tharpe made twofree throws moments laterto push Kansas’ lead to sixpoints and, after Clarkmissed a 3 at the other end,Ellis made the back end ofa two-shot free-throwopportunity to make it90-83 with 29.2 seconds left.Wiggins blocked another3-point attempt, by FrankBooker, and the Jayhawkseventually were able to run
out the clock.Tharpe scored 17 points
for Kansas on 5-for-7 shoot-ing. Hield had 18 pointsand eight rebounds for theSooners, while Tyler Nealand Jordan Woodard had10 points each. Woodardgot all his scoring at thefree-throw line, going 10for 10 as Oklahoma made29 of 36. Kansas went 24 for30 from the line.
Kansas shot 64.3 percent
from the field in the first
half, led by Selden Jr., who
matched his previous
career scoring high of 15 a
little more than 8 minutes
into the game.
